The Republican ship appears to be leaking water….
Donald Trump in his typical fashion is striking out at those who tried to help him fix the leak….
In the end?
Trump is expendable….
Anthony Fauci isn’t….
The ‘expert’ will wait for his bosses to change and begin to listen to him….
And the virus IS still infecting Americans like it did Trump, and they don’t the treatment he got…..
President Donald Trump’s election endgame argument, far from bristling with new solutions to a pandemic that has killed 220,000 Americans, on Monday devolved into a campaign of insults against Dr. Anthony Fauci — for telling the truth about the disease.
Trump ridiculed Fauci as a “disaster” and an “idiot” who has been around for “500 years” — trashing one of the nation’s best hopes of easing the pandemic along with his recommendations to quell an alarming Covid-19 surge.
His personal warfare against Fauci on a frenzied day on the campaign trail, while indecent and questionable from a strategic political perspective, revealed how the US government effort to beat the pandemic has been suppressed in the service of Trump’s reelection.
“Tony Fauci has been the most clear, consistent proponent of the measures the United States needs to protect itself from a deadly disease,” William Haseltine, a renowned public health expert and former professor at Harvard Medical School, told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday.
“What Donald Trump is doing is attacking the fire department when the house in burning down. This is a very serious time.”
Trump’s conduct is typical of an approach to the disease that has rejected science when it doesn’t provide answers that are politically palpable and has threatened to cause the sickness and death of tens of thousands of more Americans….

A day after asserting that the American people are tired of listening to Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Trump insisted that he gets along with him. But Trump, who has clashed with Fauci at times over the coronavirus, said Fauci’s not a “team player.”
